...and it's my birthday, as well.
Admittedly, I'm not the strongest Francophile. I've flown over France a few times, and have watched "The Three Musketeers". I've read a bit on the overthrowing of the Bastille and the resultant changes in French governance and society. Now that I'm retired, I have time to perhaps dig in more into French language, culture, etc.
Mostly, 14 July is a chance for me to eat pie and ice cream with no guilt. Now that I'm solidly in middle-age, I can't consume the cake and other fun stuff as much as I like. Today, I can.
Having said that, for the folks in France and other areas celebrating today, Vive le France! Vive le Republique!
